Finally, just fucking finally, my worst nightmare has gone to haunt me again, yes, i had AN ACCIDENT!! Was blasting through Temple of Vale road, when i try to clip the last apex(aka longkang) leading to the exit.........how ever, the tail snapped and as i maintained my throttle slightly with my hand try to push the car outside to the road, the tire just wont come out and keep banging the side wall as the tire got stuck in the drain it self......talk bout unexpected events.....
To all drivers out there, TOV has two part in the last section where you could clip the drain on the side to act as apex point for you and it worked well, but not for the second part or the last part of the apex point it self, that drain is severed with pot holes and is quite a trap i would say, clip over it succesfull and you'll sure hear two stomping sound through your chasis, this is due to the pot hole knocking over your lower arm, as thats what happen to me...
A dejected me standing by my 'baby'.....
See how the tire was left etched to the other side as the lower arm's bushing has torn off with the disc brake itself.....Boon managed to tells me that while i was clipping the apex, probably the force of it manage to knock on that vary weak spot of that lower arm and 'cut it loose'....which prevented me from countering my way out....as the left tire just wont turn anymore, its free already....and btw, my left side Neova seem to experienced undergrip all this time as the rubber compound was dry and smooth just like hardened rubber while the right side Neova's rubber compound was still very much hot and sticky, literally....
Here the trailer is coming is to take my 'baby' to surgery....wonder how much its going to cost....
One thing i dun like bout accident, for real, isn't the fact that i could die, but its cuz of i'll put other ppl into a whole lot of trouble, namely my family and my friends, very lucky to have PgDori at my side that time, and thanx to Fifi, Boon, Yuri, and Zech for their help in calling the trailer and keeping me company....same goes to my dad also for instead of scolding me keep me calm all the time.....boy i realli should, thank GOD for having all these wonderful person bside me......
Pic of the road it self...last section long straight..
Newer pics which i just take this afternoon......
It looks kinda bad in this way, but the side has some scratches but thats all, the rear was still ok...
See that red square i put there, that was suppose to connect to the disc brake area, that thing is known as a Lower Arm, and the bush and the rear end of it was badly damaged that it just snap out of contact, which is why my left wheel got stuck in the drain and wont come out as there is no steering output anymore.....lesson learn*watch your chasis over time*....
Good thing though, that my dad doesn't arrive in a flat-bed while smoking cigarrete and pick up the whole car for a complete rebuild, cuz if so i would surely have smiled inside the car instead of crying(TAKUMI case...) BUT ANYWAY........i live and survive to see another day.....thank GOD for that...
